United want to re-sign Ronaldo – how he’d fit in in LVG’s 4-3-3!
A look at how Manchester United could line up next season with their new-look 4-3-3 formation and the re-signing of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo…
GK: Sergio Romero
With David de Gea likely to join Real Madrid for around £28m, free agent Sergio Romero looks to be heading to Old Trafford as his replacement in goal.
DR: Matteo Darmian
Already signed from Torino, Matteo Darmian has impressed in pre-season and should be first choice at right-back.
DL: Luke Shaw
Despite a difficult first season, Luke Shaw is expected to stake his claim as United’s main left-back in 2015/16.

DC: John Stones
A £38m target from Everton, England youngster John Stones could be brought in despite interest from Chelsea, with United still eyeing a new centre-back.
DC: Daley Blind
Likely to move into the middle after recent quotes from Louis van Gaal, Daley Blind could form a new-look central defensive partnership for United alongside Stones.
DM: Morgan Schneiderlin
Signed from Southampton, Morgan Schneiderlin looks an excellent addition to United’s midfield, playing the most defensive role in a midfield three.
MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger
Another world class buy from United, Bastian Schweinsteiger should become a regular part of the team’s midfield, providing creativity and goals from the middle of the park.
MC: Juan Mata
An even more important player with Angel Di Maria leaving, Juan Mata takes up the third cental midfield spot here.
AMR: Memphis Depay
Signed from PSV earlier this summer, Memphis Depay has made a bright start in pre-season and could play a major role on the right-hand side of a front three.
AML: Cristiano Ronaldo
Perhaps ideally suited to a left-hand side role, Cristiano Ronaldo joining from Real Madrid would give United an amazing lineup capable of winning the Premier League title.
FC: Wayne Rooney
Starting as the main central striker, Wayne Rooney should get plenty of great service from Ronaldo, Depay, Mata and Schweinsteiger and reach his best goalscoring form again.
